Bug#761195: libgweather-3-6: Yr.no API has changed

[Tomasz Buchert]

Package: libgweather-3-6
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
     Use of gnome-shell weather applet
(https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/613/weather/)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I launched my gnome-shell as always.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     The applet does not show any information (no error either).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     I would like see a forecast for my city.

Now, I know it is because because the API at Yr.no has changed.
Upstream *is* aware of this:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgweather/commit/?id=77c4dbc22cd09a5151e5bfbfcc29bf7747126294
but the fix has not been released yet. I post this bug mostly for bookkeeping.
Quite possibly it will be enough to update 1.8 to 1.9 in the source code.

Cheers,
Tomasz
